  Waterstones The Grand National

  Price: £10.99

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: Every year the Grand National produces very different stories from jockeys and horses alike; uplifting scenes from a victor and heartbreak when a mere inch divides the loser from the winner at the end of nearly four-and-a-half miles and thirty challenging fences. In 1839 the first winner was aptly named Lottery. Back then, huge crowds rode to Aintree by horseback, in carriages, carts or on foot. Today the Grand National is probably the world's most famous horse race, with a global television audience of some 600 million in 140 countries. This richly informed book focuses on the race's various record-breakers, rather than being a purely chronological history of this greatest of all steeplechases. Many records have stood the test of time: in 2019, Tiger Roll's second consecutive victory was the first time that the feat had been achieved since Red Rum in 1973-74. Anne Holland's authoritative history celebrates one of the world's greatest sporting spectacles.'A well-organised and cheerily anecdotal volume' Spectator.

  Waterstones Champion Jump Horse Racing Jockeys

  Price: £14.99

  Description

  Description: It's one of the real sports that's left to us: a bit of danger and a bit of excitement, and the horses, which are the best thing in the world.'* HM The Queen Mother on National Hunt racing. This book traces how much National Hunt racing has changed since 1945 - and also how Britain has changed too. The advent of motorways has made travel easier and racecourse safety has improved but the challenges for jump jockeys - the bravest of the brave - remain. It covers some of the biggest stories in jump racing over the last seventy-five years, including the dramatic collapse of Devon Loch in the 1956 Grand National and the incredible exploits of three-time Grand National winner Red Rum. But it also contains lots of fascinating stories that the reader will not be so aware of, of trainers and horses long forgotten.

  Waterstones No Snail

  Price: £20.00

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: L' Escargot was a wonder horse, one of only two to have scaled the twin peaks of steeplechasing: the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Grand National. He won on the biggest stages in Britain and Ireland - and on one of the biggest in the USA. His victories spanned nine seasons. He triumphed on the flat, over hurdles and over fences, and at distances from two miles to the National's gruelling four miles and 856 yards. When he surged clear of Red Rum - the best Aintree horse ever - to claim victory in the National on that strange, anti-climactic day in 1975, it was one of the most dramatic acts of party-pooping in the history of sport. Yet, for those who had managed his destiny since 1966 from a base on the edge of The Curragh, it meant the fulfilment of a decades-old ambition.
